It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
The school has a uniform policy. Shanghai Xinxinle Dress Co., Ltd is contracted as the uniform vendor, and uniforms are ordered online with delivery to home addresses. The Sabres Store on campus provides sizing and fittings.
The school provides catering with an in-house kitchen and publishes weekly menus planned by the Head Chef, including options across Chinese, Western, Japanese, Korean, and Southeast Asian cuisines. Produce mainly comes from Mahota Farm on Chongming Island, with other licensed suppliers; vegetarian meals and dietary accommodations are available. Food samples are retained for 48 hours and the kitchen is regularly inspected to ensure safety and compliance.
The school uses a House System with four houses: Ruby, Amber, Pearl, and Sapphire. All students and staff belong to a House and remain in the same House through their SSIS journey, including younger siblings. House activities include sports, music, debating and other competitions, with House points tallied to determine an annual Championship.
SSIS was founded and invested by Prime Group International. The Core Leadership Team leads the school, guiding curriculum development and daily operations.
Shanghai Singapore International School (SSIS) opened on 3 September 1996 and provides a continuous K–12 pathway for expatriate children aged 2–18; the school reports a community of about 1,400 students.
